-V 2 --vbr-new --add-id3v2 --ignore-tag-errors --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tg "%m" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

-V 0 --vbr-new --add-id3v2 --ignore-tag-errors --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tg "%m" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

-b 320 --add-id3v2 --pad-id3v2 --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tg "%m" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d

V0 is what "Scene Groups" use to encode.

http://jiggafellz.isa-geek.net/eac/ has a guide on properly ripping CDs and encoding them. Following this tutorial will give you a perfect rip.

both guides worked for me thanks.

but I have a question how do I enter my own bitrates?

I entered this line in the command line; -V 0 --vbr-new --add-id3v2 --ignore-tag-errors --ta "%a" --tt "%t" --tg "%m" --tl "%g" --ty "%y" --tn "%n" %s %d but where do I enter my own bitrates?

The "-V 0" is specifying your bitrate in this case, or rather it is specifying a quality setting that will determine what bitrate you will end up with (220-260kbps according to the excellent LAME documentation here). These so called presets are one of the things about LAME that make it the highest quality MP3 encoder around as they have been extensively tuned to provide the highest quality output, though if you wish to force a bitrate then you can simply replace "-V 0 --vbr-new" with -b <bitrate> where <bitrate> (bitrate in kbit/s) must be chosen from the following values: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, or 320 or replace the "0" in "-V 0" with a lower value, thus retaining the tuned vbr nature of the encoder but lowering the bitrate used. I personally use -V 2 but many people find values as low as -V 5 perfectly acceptable, especially if the resulting files are destined for a portable player.

It's all in this page anyway so browse and learn. I would also strongly recommend using EAC to rip as Sir Phlegyas suggested.

one more question. :/

I can now encode an audio directly through lame command line (CMD) by typing this lame.exe --preset extreme armed.mp3 loaded.mp3. but the problem it doesnt copy the id3 tags. what will I have to add so that it copies the id3 tags as well?

and how can I encode an entire folder or many mp3s? do I have to encode each mp3 seperately?

Just download LameDropXPd and save yourself trouble - http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lamedrop.php

I know you want to do it with command prompt, but unless you're ready to actually read instructions on HA wiki and some other pages, then use something more convenient. Don't know why would you force yourself to use command line anyway.

The reason there is no tag because you did not include add tag command in your switch.

    • Wikipedia has become hot molasses with mostly filth masquerading as truth. Most of it is the imagination of few writers who think of themselves as above god. The narrative setup is mind boggling.

    • No. 1/10th the cost of a Mac? The Mini starts at 599. What mini-pc costs 1/10th of that? The OS is nothing like macOS. Sure you can make it look like it, but it won’t work anything like it. Applications won’t install, or remove the same. Application compatibility will be different. Managing the OS is completely dissimilar, the biggest common ground will be a few CLI utilities. You can definitely get yourself an inexpensive little setup that has a good Linux distro and be happy. It won’t be 1/10th the cost or essentially a Mac though.
